When does it get a manual trans?

Finally got my exhaust put on!

Stock muffler:


Stock exhaust still on the vehicle:


Side by side. Stock 1.75" on the left, SS/TC 2.5" on the right:





SS/TC on left, stock on right:




Hmm...something is missing...


Stock 2" downpipe is the next thing to get replaced (along with the exhaust manifold):


Close-up size comparison:



Went and washed the car at a quarter wash to get all the salt and shit off. Still isn't like a good handwash at home, but it does the job.










Finally, a video. Sounds better in real life than the video. I really like the sound inside the car.

Thanks again, B for the recommendation, and Brian (bri2203) for the exhaust!

Heh, thanks everyone.

Looks good but where's the coolant temp, volts, oil pressure, etc? They don't have that in the stock gauges?

Only coolant temp is in the DIC, as Mark and Brian said. Volts is on my pillar (see why I got a voltmeter?). I might do a dual pod cluster bezel (positions a gauge on each side of the cluster), probably with an interceptor and an oil pressure gauge

He bought it used from a rental company

Yep, bought it with 27k miles. Owned it since July '08

If his is the same as mine, the coolant temp is on the LCD screen on the RPM's side. Just have to push a button on the steering wheel to get to it.

Those gauges look alot better then the stock ones.

Yeah, they look nice lit up. And yes, the DIC has mileage/outside temp, Trip A, Trip B, Range Left, Fuel Economy, Oil %, Coolant Temp.

Looks good Kyle! Are the SC and TC clusters the same? Whats your red line?

6500 RPM.

I am not sure how that will work with Kyles car as I doubt it has controls on the steering wheel. I bet he has a button the dash or something.

It's on my steering wheel. I have the cruise control/DIC controls on the left spoke of the steering wheel.

can you make the dash gauges light up with the same color light of your pillar gauges?

Looks cool Kyle!!!

That's my plan. Gonna do an overlay to match the Auto Meter Cobalts with blue LED lighting.

Thanks everyone!

Oil pressure is unknown
Volts are unknown
Coolant temp can be viewed from the DIC (Driver informsation center) by scrolling through, using the info button the steering wheel.
